Jimmy Savile's former radio producer has today been interviewed for a second time by police investigating historic sexual abuse claims as part of Operation Yewtree.

Ted Beston, 79, was questioned under caution at a police station in York as part of the probe into historic sexual abuse claims that has implicated some of the biggest stars in Britain.

Mr Beston, known as 'Uncle Ted', was previously arrested on December 19 2012 on suspicion of sexual offences after a dawn raid on his home in Bromley.

But on May 14 2013 he was told there was to be no further action taken against him after police decided there was insufficient evidence to proceed.

But police spoke to him yet again today as part of a strand of the investigation termed as 'others'.

After last year's arrest, Beston, who worked as Savile's producer in the 1960s and 1970s, vehemently denied playing any part in historic sexual offences.

Beston was a close friend of Savile's and they worked together on Savile’s Travels, the Jimmy Savile Old Record Club and the Double Top Ten Show.
